Congress Organizes National Dialogue to Protest Replacement of MGNREGA with VB-G RAM G Act

The Congress party is organizing a national dialogue on January 22, 2026, to protest the replacement of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) with the new VB-G RAM G Act. Congress leaders allege this change undermines workers' rights and the role of panchayats in local development. Workers from across India are participating, bringing soil from their work sites to symbolize their contributions. The BJP government defends the new Act, while Congress continues protests including hunger strikes and planned awareness marches.
